Christine McGuinness poses with Chelcee Grimes as she returns from social media break

Christine McGuinness ended her social media break by revealing she's been hanging out with pal Chelcee Grimes as she uploaded a string of snaps to Instagram.

The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star decided to head back online after taking some time out to focus on herself, months after announcing her split from husband Paddy.

Posting some moments fans had missed out on, Christine was seen with her The Games co-star Chelcee clad in matching jumpers and wrapped their arms around each other as they posed in a bathroom toilet.

The duo were seen kissing at Winter Wonderland in December.

Christine and hubby Paddy called time on their marriage in July last year but are said to still be living together after the shock announcement.

Christine captioned her upload: "A little Chrissy catch up, I've missed you."

After being tagged in the post, Chelcee responded with a single red love heart.

The two women became close after starring in the Channel 4 gameshow together last year.

Onlookers then snapped pics of them sharing a kiss at Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland as they hung out before Christmas.

“It was a sweet moment between Christine and Chelcee as they sat on a bench outside and enjoyed live music," a source told The Sun at the time.

“They were wearing similar woolly hats and even had a little dance at one point.

“They seemed to be living in the moment and soaking up the festive atmosphere - Christine and Chelcee were both all smiles as they walked off hand-in-hand."

It was reported their friendship grew following Christine's split from Paddy.

The two women enjoyed a break in the sun together, flying off to Crete together in October for a little holiday, and sources have claimed the two stars also enjoy hanging out 'a lot' together at home too.

In September this year, shortly after Paddy and Christine's shock announcement, Chelcee - who once dated Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson - joined Christine on a mini-break in Santorini, with the pair also enjoying a trip to Croatia with pals over the summer.

Chatting about her close friendship with former footballer and songwriter Chelcee earlier this year, Christine gushed to Fabulous: Chelcee is my soul sister.

"Just straight away from the day I met her; I just loved her."

The mum-of-three revealed last year that both her and Paddy will continue to live in the family home alongside their three children; twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and daughter Felicity, five.

"A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children," an extract from the lengthy joint statement reads.

"This was not an easy decision to make but we are moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.

"We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together."
